Thanks, Pantxo. The patch works for me with the example from this report and I also didn't observe any side effect when testing it with a larger graphical interface.

I attached a patch. If it works I'll push it together with a patch for bug #54187.

(file #45936)

Ok, so I'll implement this (no restriction on what object can become the root callbackobject), and to be honest it will help with bug #54187 so I'll do all this on stable.

If you put together "When the HandleVisibility property value is 'off', objects do not appear in the root CallbackObject property" and "gcbo returns the handle of the object whose callback is currently executing. This handle is obtained from the root property 'CallbackObject'", then you would conclude that an object with HandleVisibility set to 'off' would never be returned by gcbo.

My understanding is that, to be of any use, gcbf and gcbo would always return a non-empty object when called within a callback regardless of the HandleVisibility property.

Is is me or is it in direct contradiction with the documentation which states that the root callbackobject is not changed when the figure has handlevisibility = off?

Thanks for looking into this, Pantxo. Clicking inside the figure in your example returns the figure object.

The code mentioned in comment #1 was added as part of a fix for bug #52621. Specifically, the implementation relied on this excerpt of ML doc for "handlevisibility" figure properties [1]:


When the HandleVisibility property value is restricted using the 'callback' or 'off' settings, the object does not appear in the
parent object Children property, figures do not appear in the
root CurrentFigure property, objects do not appear in the root
CallbackObject property or in the figure CurrentObject property,
and axes do not appear in their parent CurrentAxes property.


I see now that the documentation for uimenu's "handlevisibility"  [2] does not state that gcbo/gcbf are affected. So the behavior is different for figures and other objects?
 
What does the following return?


hf = figure ('handlevisibility', 'off', 'buttondownfcn', 'gcbo')
% Click inside the figure

Yes, the same happens for 'gcbo': it contains the uimenu object of the clicked menu, whether HandleVisibility is set on or off.

I think I am the one who prevented objects with "handlevisibility" == "off" from becoming the current root "callbackobject". I don't remember why, probably because of a misunderstanding of ML documentation.

This is implemented in graphics.cc (gh_manager::do_execute_callback):


...
          gh_manager::auto_lock guard;
          callback_objects.push_front (go);
          if (go.get ("handlevisibility").string_value () != "off")
            xset_gcbo (h);
...


Should "gcbo" also return the uimenu object for menu1 in your example?

In the following example, gcbf returns [] instead of the handle of the figure when clicking on 'menu 1' (when the HandleVisibility property is set to 'off'):


h = figure ();
u = uimenu ( h, 'Label', 'Menu');
uimenu (u, 'Label', 'menu 1', 'HandleVisibility', 'off', 'CallBack', 'gcbf');
uimenu (u, 'Label', 'menu 2', 'HandleVisibility', 'on', 'CallBack', 'gcbf');
uimenu (u, 'Label', 'menu 3', 'HandleVisibility', 'callback', 'CallBack', 'gcbf');
